Historic farm structures as material culture : an Oregon studyJudge, Barbara C. 22 January 1993 (has links)
The thesis is a case study of two traditional family farms that were settled in
Oregon in 1850 and 1915. The study embraces the theory that material culture
reflects customs and values. The material culture indicators within the study are the
architectural structures of the Oregon farms. The study filters the architecture
through theoretical and historical data of both Oregon and the Upland South. The
farms are recorded with oral history, photographs, architectural descriptions, and
evolutionary settlement patterns. The filtering process results in two constructs that
correlate the commonalities of both the Oregon farms and the Upland South
architecture. The results point out that, with the disappearance of vernacular
architecture on family farms, it follows that historic traditional cultures vanish. / Graduation date: 1993
